17.6.5.3.2 If the loading on an adhesive anchor group is such that only some of the adhesive anchors are in tension , only those adhesive anchors that are in tension shall be considered for determining the eccentricity e ́N in Eq . ( 17.6.5.3.1 ) and for the calculation of N ag according to
Eq . ( 17.6.5.1b ). c Na
17.6.5.3.3 If a load is eccentric about two orthogonal axes , ψ ec , Na shall be calculated for each axis individually , and the product of these factors shall be used as ψ ec , Na in Eq . ( 17.6.5.1b ). e c2 , N is a PROFIS Engineering parameter to define tension eccentricity with respect to the y direction . The value for e c2 , N corresponds the distance in the y direction of a resultant tension load from the centroid of anchors that are loaded in tension . PROFIS Engineering uses e c2 , N to calculate the ACI 318 modification factor for tension eccentricity ( ψ ec , Na ), and designates this modification factor ψ ec2 , Na to indicate eccentricity is being considered in the y direction . PROFIS Engineering calculations for tension eccentricity with respect to the y direction are as follows :
• calculate a resultant tension load acting on the anchors .
• calculate the distance in the y direction ( e c2 , N
) between this load and the centroid of the anchors loaded in tension .
• calculate a modification factor for tension eccentricity ( ψ ec2 , Na ) with respect to the y direction .
If the resultant tension load acting on the anchorage is eccentric with respect to both the x and y directions ; PROFIS Engineering calculates the eccentricity for each direction ( e c1 , N with respect to the x direction and e c2 , N with respect to the y direction ), and the ψ ec , N modification factor for each direction ( ψ ec1 , Na for eccentricity with respect to the x direction and ψ ec2 , Na for eccentricity with respect to the y direction ). ψ ec1 , Na and ψ ec2 , Na are multiplied together to give a total modification factor for eccentricity per ACI 318-19 Section 17.6.5.3.3 .
